Manage episode 482512125 series 2535486
What if the reason you’re exhausted, disconnected, or stuck… isn’t failure — but shame?
In this deeply vulnerable and transformational episode, performance coach and trauma expert Annalie Howling joins Matt to reveal how shame shapes our identity, fuels burnout, and keeps us from experiencing real connection — with others and ourselves.
Annalie shares her raw story of overcoming childhood trauma, healing internalized beliefs like “I am bad,” and learning to live a truly shameless life — one filled with freedom, self-compassion, and unshakable inner peace.
If you’ve ever felt like a black sheep, unworthy of love, or driven by pain instead of purpose… this episode is a mirror, a roadmap, and a permission slip to finally come home to yourself.
